Even though the swim team did really well, we found that people don\u2019t go to the swim meets.  \u201cI feel like not a lot of people are into swim because we didn\u2019t have a lower school swim team,” eighth grader Josie LaBare said. She said some reasons are because there is a lack of advertisement and hype towards the swim meets. \u201cBasketball games get more people to watch,\u201d Josie further explained. Swimming is an underrated and hard sport. It deserves more recognition. <\/p>\n\n\n

According to Swimming World<\/em>, studies show that swimming is one of the hardest sports. Eighth grade swimmer Santiago Garcia expressed how swim is a tough sport. It is hardworking and has many physical and mental health benefits. The website BetterHealth Channel said that swimming builds endurance, muscle strength, tones muscles, and helps maintain a healthy heart and lungs. It also mentions how it is a great way to bond with others and meet new people. Swimming is a great way to be in shape yet also make friends and have fun.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swim is an important and crucial key to people’s lives. For instance, swim has impacted lots of lives positively.\u00a0 Being on the Seven Hills Swim Team has improved people\u2019s relationships with their fellow peers and their passion for swimming. \u201cIt\u2019s a really good team, the people on it are nice and the coaches are encouraging,\u201d Santiago said. Overall, the Seven Hills swimmers have said great things about being on the team.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Seven Hills swimmer Beatrice Schneider values the sense of friendship she finds on the swim team. \u201cFriendship and unity, and I trust everyone on the team,\u201d Bea said.  Being on the team has improved lots of swimmers\u2019 athletic performances.  \u201cI improved on my (swim) times and I did really well. The championship meet was fun\u2026I got to hang out with people I don\u2019t normally hang out with,\u201d Bea said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Seven Hills Middle School Swim Team had an amazing season and a great time at the meets supporting one another. “The meets were so fun and everyone cheered each other on,” Josie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
